Yesterday I was fortunate to watch Lesser Spotted Eagle for over an hour! He was eating a Hooded Crow just eight meters from my hide! :) Hooded crow, which he had caught and killed himself. I didn’t even know they might do that, since small rodents are favorite food for them, but in spring time they also eat frogs. And that wasn’t all – soon his partner joined him and I was lucky to see them mating. That was another great day! :)

BTW Lesser Spotted Eagle is the most numerous eagle species in Estonia, here are breeding over 500 pairs. Estonia is situated on the NW limit of the range, they don’t breed in Finland or Sweden.
